neither at the equator nor in the northern
or southern hemisphere has this difference
been discovered by experience or general
observation of any kind. But as for the
mere age of the sun, irrespective of the
question of uniformity, we have proof of
something vastly more than 5000 years in
geological history, with its irrefragible
evidence of continuity OF life on the
earth in times past for tens of thousands,
and probably for millions of years.
Here, then, we have splendid subject
for contemplation and research in natural
philosophy, or physics, the science of the
dead matter. The sun, mere piece of
matter of the moderate dimensions which
we know it to have, bounded all round
by cold ether, has been doing work at the
rate of 476,000,000, 900 horse power for
5000 years and at possibly more,
and certainly not much less, than that
for few million years. How is this to be
explained? Natural philosophy cannot
evade the question, and no physicist who
is not engaged in trying to answer il can
have any other justification than that his
whole working time is occupied with work
on some other subject or subjects Of his
province by which he has more hope of
being able to advance SCIENCE Sir

The .tHerse Power, of the Sun.

From human history we know that for
several thousand years the sun has been
giving heat and light to the earth as at
present ;lpossiblY with some considerable
fluctuations, and possibly with some not
very small progressive variations. The
records of agriculture, and the natural
history of plants and animals within the
time of human history, sbounds with evil
deDce that there has been no exceedingly
great change in the intensity of the SUMS
heat and light within the last 5000 years;
but for all that there may have
been variations of quite as much as 5
or 10 per cent. as we may judge from
considering that the intensity of the solar
radiation to the earth is 81 per cent.
greater in January than in July; and

White Man Kills a Negro Because He
Fails to Whip Him.
BALTIMORE, MD, May 10. - Scott
Pearce, living near Corbett Station,
twenty-five miles from this city, stabbed
and killed Edward Bond, colored, yester-
day. The men with five others got caught
in the rain and took refuge in blacksmith
shop while the proprietor was absent.
While discussing their respective slug
ging abilities Pearce and the darkey
agreed to set to with bare knuckles. At
first the blows were light, and then the
darKey dealt Pearce q singing blow in
the face, which so sngered him that he
determined to be reVenged. Bond, how
ever, gave him but little opportunity for
satisfaction, which further madaaaed
Pearce. He stopped fighting, and selling
hammer brought it down on the negro's
head. Bond fell to the ground covered
with blood. Pearce made another attempt
to strike Bond, but the latter recovering
himself ran away. He had not gone
many yards before he again fell to the
ground from loss of blood. Pearce fol-
lowed and attempted to finish him, but
one of his companions caught his arm.
Turning to the fellow ne threatened to
kill him if he did not let go. The man
fearing for his own life jumped aside,
when Pearce turned Bond over on his
back and stabbed him in the heart.
PesrCe has not been arrested.

A DYNAMITER.
Highly Sensational Episode at an Anti
Coercion Meeting

Coercion Meeting.
CHICAGO, Ill, May 10.-There was g
sensational incident at the anti-coercion
meeting at Battery D last night. A few
minutes before 9 O'Clock man was seen
pushing his way toward the platform.
He was busily engaged in distributing 8
flaming red circular. The word went
around that the man was an intruder, and
one of the committee of arrangements
was sent to know his business there and
how he came TO be disturbing the meet
ing. One glance at the circular settled
it,and the peddler of the red paper was IN
continentally hustled toward the door. He
resisted and fought with tenaCiy and the
courage of bull dog. Two Or three stall
wart policemen were called to the scene,
and the intrGder was dragged outside
the building. His pockets were literally
stuffed with circulars, and as the officers
took him a shower of red hand-bilIs fell
from every fold in his clothes. These cir
culaTs read as follows: "By Irishmen,
Ireland will be free. No home rule, total
separation, nothing else. Dynamite an
indigestible pill for John Bull. United
resolution. I. C. R."
No one knew what the last three
8letters represented, and the dynamiter
was asked to explain and would not
explain and the police took him to the
armory. To reporter ne said his name
was William E. Fitzpatrick, and he was
"a painter by trade. eyes, am dyna-
inter and have been fenian all my
Lie believe in dynamite as the only
sn9wer for Ireland. Oh. won'g England
rejoice when it reaches that country that
an Irishman was locked up in Chicago for

A Batch of Penitentiary Sentences, IN

ciu01nS the Boy burglars
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, May 10.-The District
court has dealt out several penitentiary
sentences to-day. J. j. Blankenship,
who was convicted of stealing horse,
got six years for that offense and two
years additional for the saddle which he
appropriated to use with the horse. Two
other convictions were a couple OF boys,
the eldest about fifteen years old and the
youngest about thirteen, got sentences of
six years each. They are Robert Moses
and Ellie Smith, raised here by respecta-
bic parents, and known as the "boy
burglars" They committed series of
burglaries on mercantile houses, and
grew quite notorious in that line, result
ing in several indictments against them.
Ample effort had been made to deter
them from their career, but without avail,
and it is the general opinion
they got their deserts, although
there is, Of course, some sympathy
for them on account of their youth. The
notorious Elisha Berry, brought here
from Gainesville to answer charge of
horse stealing, is now on trial. Judge
Head of Sherman is still presiding over

The anarchist murdcrers at Chicago are
to hang The supreme court of Illinois af-
flrmed ON Wednesday the Judgment of the
superior court for Cook county, and ordered
that sentence of death be executed on the
seven men condemned on Friday, Nov. II.
This is II most righteous Judgment The
history of the crime of May H. 1855, not
yet forgotten by the country, is reviewed
in the opinion OF Judge Magruder, and the
racts brought freshly to- mind. In the midst
of a movement of workingInen for legiti-
mate object of agitation group Of European
outlaws intruded themselves, proclaiming
war upon socal order by inhammatory
publications and speeches they had been
calling for resistance to law and destruc
ton of property They had been manu-
featuring bombs for this warfare. The first
fruit of their horrible propaganda, the first
use of these instruments of warfare, was
the wanton murder Of officers Of the law
in the discharge of their duty. 1t occurred
while several of the anarchists were busily
exciting the passions of their hearers one
of thrtn had but just paused i'll his speech
when the bomb was thrown 10y another of
their number. Every advantage that the
las could give these men they had upon
their trial every guard was thrown around
their worthless lives. A great sigh of re
lief went up from all over the country at
the conclusion Of the trial August 90, 1886,
when the jury found seven of them guilty
Of murder, and one of lesser degree of
guilt These men, it should he understood,
are not sentenced to death because they
hold certain opinions about society but he
cause they melted and produced murder.
The lesson was taught them in that verdict
that liberty in tins country stops short OF
license. and is subject to law.
